What sort of distance do you travel by bike in a year?

**White trash** · 27th April 2004, 12:39

As far as she'll let me ...

**merv** · 27th April 2004, 13:12

Only about 5,000+ per annum on two bikes as they are my fun ride and about 40,000 per annum by car/4x4 and about 10,000 per annum by train.

42,000 km on 4 bikes in 18 months.
Cost of petrol, tyres, maintenance, repairs, accessories, insurance premiums, accident...: $thousands
Enjoyment: priceless

)

Stuffed if I know.

I do about 25km a day, commuting. And that's about it.
No wonder I'm getting mahty tahred of riding - there's only a small modicum of fun that can be had riding amongst all the moronic D'Auckland drivers, and after that it just becomes dangerous...

Mebbe if I could get out in the weekends to play....?
